Evaluate f(x)=6^-2

$f (x) = 6^{- 2}$

Step 1

Simplify $6^{- 2}$ .

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$f (x) = \frac{1}{6^{2}}$

Raise $6$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (x) = \frac{1}{36}$

Step 2

Subtract $f (x)$ from both sides of the equation.

$0 = \frac{1}{36} - f (x)$

Step 3

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{1}{36} - f (x) = 0$ .

$\frac{1}{36} - f (x) = 0$
